The 2017-18 season saw two Southeast Division teams (Miami and Washington) advance to compete in the postseason. It was a down year across the board, as the Heat were crowned division champions with a record of 44-38.

Atlanta (No. 3), Orlando (No. 6) and Charlotte (No. 11) all look to make big steps forward with their lottery selections on Thursday. Washington's selection falls right outside of the lottery at No. 15. Miami is the lone team in the division without a selection in this year's draft…for now.

Each team has been linked to a number of potential transactions that could come on draft night. Here's more on what to expect from the Southeast Division on June 21…

This rebuilding Hawks team could amass enough assets to obtain another lottery pick on Thursday and disgruntled guard Dennis Schröder could also be on the move. Expect an extremely busy night for Atlanta as it works to build around the young duo of Taurean Prince (24) and John Collins (20).

If Charlotte is to part ways with its franchise all-time scoring leader, expect large returns. The Hornets could look to acquire another lottery pick or a package consisting of an established impact player along with a later pick.

While such conversations are the norm ahead of the draft, the Magic select directly behind two teams (Memphis and Dallas) that could engage in a pick swap. The Clippers, who have two late lottery picks (12 and 13), could look to trade up to six.

Washington, the eighth seed in this year's playoffs, has a lot riding on this offseason. The Wizards dealt with injuries throughout the 2017-18 season, but should have done more with the All-Star backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal.
